EN: to ask for a share of food
This is the official verb for "Penge!" when your friend opens a bag of chips. You're not buying, you're not stealing, you're just positioning yourself to be given a share. It's a subtle art form practiced by siblings, officemates, and anyone who sees you eating something delicious.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `amot` (the act of begging for a share of food) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
This word is not universally used and might be considered dialectal or old-fashioned in some regions. 'Pahingi' is far more common.
